AusCann and Canopy Growth Corporation (TSE:WEED), are working to become the leading suppliers of medicinal cannabis products to the Australian market. In April 2018, AusCann announced that it had received an import permit under its existing licence to receive cannabis oils from its major shareholder, Canopy.

AusCann will initially import Canopy-supplied AusCann-branded products for chronic and neuropathic pain. Canopy and AusCann are also working on an arrangement in which Canopy will also supply Spectrum Cannabis branded products for AusCann to distribute into the Australian market alongside existing complementary AusCann products. Spectrum Cannabis is Canopy Growth’s international medical brand, operating under a simple colour-coded system to classify its medicinal cannabis products. For more information, see here.
